Anyone ever heard of "Tomorrow when the war began"?
You have now. It's a book series based on an invasion of Australia by a foreign power and how 8 school children band up together to take them on in guerilla-type warfare.
Here's a synopsis of the book series:
Click (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow_series)
Well, anyway, last week my mum got a visitor..it was the Assistant Location Manager, Edward Donovan.
He basically asked her if the balcony we have overlooking the street it's being filmed in could be used as a prop, as in, put shit up there to make the scene a bit more fitting. It's a really old colonial street that used to be a prime shipping spot back in the early 1800s, late 1790s, right next to a river that runs the length of Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
I'll be using my phone to periodically take pictures and video of this film as it progresses. I'll post the pics/vids as I take them.
I'll edit the post with more info as I get it, as the Assistant Location Manager has asked to speak to my mum at a later date. I'm also planning on making shitloads of noise so they come and pay me to stop, so to make that work I'm just hoping my mum doesn't sign any agreements to limit noise or anything.
Also, links for you non-beleivers:

None of those say anything about the location of the filming, so consider yourselves lucky.

HAHA! Do you really think they're dumb enough to pay you to make you shut up?! hahah.... ROFL! :D
-
They can have my music playing throughout their whole movie then, I don't care :)
-
Lucky you. But damn it ain't one of those very, very popular movies.
Make yourself visible in somehow, I beg you! They cannot force you to leave, neither call the police or something.

There is a movie being filmed in my small town. I've taken part in it, don't know how it is called in English, but I've been one of the people that just 'are the background' :P. I've been walking on the streets just behind the main characters etc. Well it's some shitty Polish movie you'll never see, but still, they paid me just for walking, and it was a really nice experience to see how the whole film is being made. The filmmakers have been here for 2 weeks, and they're coming back in the fall, hope I'll be a background guy again :P.

Called an extra :D

Lord of the Rings was an amazing achievement for Tolkien, he was an amazing writer and The Hobbit an The Lord of the Rings Trilogy open a huge door to begin the construction of a new world straight from his imagination, so don't disrespect one of the greatest writers ever :D

A scene of Transformers 2 was shot in an used-to-be world class steel factory, which I live near.

this sounds a lot like Red Dawn. I encourage all of you to watch Red Dawn, unless you are russian, then you may find it offensive :/

There's about 50 people standing on the street all with scripts in their hands and there are BMWs rolling up and down the street.
This is exciting :O

There's were a few movies/TV shows shot in my town.
Plus we're hosting the G20 summit, I get off school and shit, but seems to be causing a shitload of problems because you need like photo ID to be in certain areas downtown.
